Fun times with the parents...The Cotswolds

A special father-son moment

We were incredibly excited to have Daniel’s parents come and visit London for three weeks in September. Aside from walking their feet off seeing all the sights in London, we decided that it would be a bit of fun to enjoy a quintessentially English getaway and spend four days relaxing in the Cotswolds.

It was wonderful to be able to spend some quality time together after about two years of living on the opposite side of the globe, and the Cotswolds provided the perfect setting.

A few highlights included…

> Pubs and tea rooms aplenty
> Some long and rambling walks through the countryside
> Exploring Highclere Castle, which is the location used for shooting Downton Abbey
> Marveling at the Uffington White Horse – an Iron Age outline of a horse made created by deep trenches filled with chalk
> Exploring the many quaint little villages
> Daniel treating Arthur to his first ever beer…a true father-son rite of passage.
